Steve Kimock & Friends will play Sweetwater Music Hall on August 17 – 19 ahead of a total solar eclipse. Kimock has put together a special lineup for the run. The guitarist will be joined by Dead & Company keyboardist Jeff Chimenti, Mike Gordon drummer John Kimock, former Gov’t Mule bassist Andy Hess, multi-instrumentalist Leslie Mendelson and special guests.

A master of improvisation for over four decades, Steve Kimock has been inspiring music fans with his transcendent guitar speak, voiced through electric, acoustic, lap and pedal steel guitars. While one can say that his genre is rock, no one niche has ever confined him. Instead, through the years, he’s explored various sounds and styles based on what’s moved him at the time, whether it’s blues or jazz; funk or folk; psychedelic or boogie; gypsy or prog-­‐rock; traditional American or world fusion.
